Description of key information

The substance is a non-flammable liquid which possesses neither pyrophoric properties nor water reactivity. Furthermore, the substance shows no self-reactive or self-heating behaviour. The substance is no organic peroxide.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

In accordance with section 1 of Annex XI of legislation EC1907/2006, the flammability is deduced from flash point and boiling point.

In accordance with section 1 of Annex XI of legislation EC1907/2006, the study does not need to be conducted as based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected.

In accordance with section 1 of Annex XI of legislation EC1907/2006, the water reactivity study does not need to be conducted as based on chemical structure water reactivity is not to be expected.

In accordance with section 1 of Annex XI of legislation EC1907/2006, the UN test series A to H for self-reactive substances and mixtures does not need to be conducted as there are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self-reactive properties.

In accordance with section 1 of Annex XI of legislation EC1907/2006, the UN test N 4 for self-heating substances and mixtures does not need to be conducted as the substance is a liquid.

In accordance with section 1 of Annex XI of legislation EC1907/2006, the UN test series A to H for organic peroxides does not need to be conducted as by definition based on their chemical structure the substance is no organic peroxide.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance does not need to be considered as flammable with respect to either reluation EC/1272/2008 (CLP) or directive 67/548/EEC as its flash point does not fit the criteria of both regulations. Deduced from its chemical structure the substance does not need to be considered as pyrophoric or water reactive as well as self-reactive and organic peroxide. Self-heating could be excluded as the substance is a liquid.

As final conclusion, as all endpoints related to flammability could be excluded the substance does not need to be classified as flammable in the sense of regulation EC/1272/208 or directive 67/548/EEC.
